Omg, I love this movie. Can STBX end up with the original Elizabeth Gallagher or something? I feel kind of bad for him.
That's why STBX has to be defective in the movie. A closet douchebag or cheater. So we don't feel too badly for him, and so we'll root for travel buddy.
The love triangle only works well in book series and tv shows. Things with longevity, so they can take a long time to play with our emotions.

Nah he's not a bad guy, he just wants her to settle down too young. She's not ready to buy a house and get married yet! She's only 23! He wants a traditional wife and that's just not her!

I KNOW! He's an upstanding sort and admirable, BUT he was looking to settle down young and with a very traditional wife because he's going to be A MOUNTIE and he needs someone who can pick up and move frequently without a career of her own.*
*Note: I have no idea whether this is true of mounties. I'm just trying to capitalize on the Canadian thing.

How is she supposed to pursue her dream of being a traveling maple syrup saleswoman, eh???

lol. Yes STBX is boring, predictable and unfunny. Their relationship is already in a rut at 23. Or the other direction - maybe he's in a high power field in which he works a million hours and keeps postponing vacations because he won't prioritize their relationship.

An INTERNATIONAL traveling maple syrup saleswoman. That's what makes the trip to Bangkok especially important. It's how she's going to establish a foothold in the all-important Thai syrup market.
Ugh I just browsed all 200 some odd books i have logged into goodreads and I can't find it. Woman convinces fiancé that she needs a break from the stress of wedding planning, takes off on an international trip solo. She loves him, but is not sure there's a spark, plus the upcoming wedding gives her legit anxiety. Part of the trip is by train, where she travels with a young, handsome blah blah blah. He has no plans, he goes where the wind takes him, which is just the thing she needs. Instant attraction. Lots of guilt. Follows her heart.
We need someone from travel buddy's life, too. Someone who gives Liz insight into the "real him". It can be a parent, a sibling, a friend or even some kid he mentors. This person also lets her know that she's more special than Liz 1.0 ever was and here's why!
Yes! his single dad who raised him since his mother died when he was 10. Touching scene when he tells Elizabeth about this and how special his dad is to him and how hard it was.
Alternatively: single mom who raised him since his dad left them when he was a baby and who worked two jobs to support the family.

And this is why the trip is so important to him. When his mom died she left him a small fund to take the trip. As a thank you to her, when he read the emails about others wanting to travel, he founded his charity.
OH! Maybe we can infuse some Cutting Edge-esque storyline in here too. I hope this girl took some figure skating lessons as a kid or something, because of course a Canadian guy plays hockey.
